Steve Burton, the star of General Hospital, has officially tied the knot with chef and content creator Michelle Lundstrom in a heartfelt ceremony on May 17 in California. The couple exchanged vows in an intimate Orthodox church setting, with a small gathering of immediate family, before celebrating with a romantic oceanfront reception at Montage Laguna Beach.
The wedding was a truly special event, attended by just 45 close friends and family members, including some of Burton’s fellow General Hospital stars. Lundstrom, who is known for her appearance on Netflix’s Barbecue Showdown 2, dazzled in a custom strapless couture gown designed by Lee Petra Grebenau. “It was romantic with a vintage vibe,” she shared, recalling the joyous experience of her daughters, Lilah and Hannah, helping her choose the perfect dress.
Burton, 54, expressed the significance of the day, stating, “This day isn’t just about a ceremony; it’s the beginning of forever with the love of my life.” For their first dance, the couple chose “I Choose You” by Forest Blakk, encapsulating their deep bond formed over a shared love of ’80s music and films.
The décor of the reception included beautiful floral arrangements, soft candlelight, and a color palette of blush, ivory, and sea glass green, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Lundstrom shared a touching moment with her sister as her maid of honor, while Burton’s son Jack served as one of his groomsmen.
The wedding dinner was a culinary delight, with Burton appreciating the savory options presented by the chefs at Montage, particularly the beef tenderloin. Although initially desiring a classic grocery store sheet cake, the couple opted for a vanilla sponge cake with fresh berries, which added a touch of sophistication.
Just four months post-engagement, the couple was eager to start their life together, emphasizing the strength of their connection that began as a close friendship before blossoming into romance. Lundstrom, reflecting on their love, expressed, “To have the most incredible man I’ve ever known by my side forever brings me so much peace and happiness.”
The newlyweds are currently enjoying a honeymoon in Maui, Hawaii, marking the beginning of a joyous new chapter in their lives together. With a celebration rich in love, friendship, and family, Burton and Lundstrom’s wedding radiates positivity and hope for a bright future.
